Feature: Special Letter: Needle In A Pin Box: How Discovering Obscure Patterns Leads To Valuable Insights

About Mark Hurd

—

Publisher’s Note: Having just completed a fascinating, deep-dive week at our FiRe Conference on the theme “The Power of Patterns,” it is hard to imagine better timing for this Special Letter by Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, focused on using Pattern Recognition to improve business performance in the real world.

After years of talk about Big Data and all of its opportunities, it’s our view that putting Pattern Recognition front and center is both the key to renewed success in the AI world and the structural key, in hardware and in software, to discovering major new trends and truths of which we have been completely unaware.

Those whose lives depend on having one foot in technology’s future and the other firmly planted in the terra firma of real sales and income statements will find this week’s discussion indispensable. – mra.
